. There used to be two distinct Land Destruction decks, one R/G, and the other mono red. Although Red carries most of the destruction and has a smoother mana base, the R/G gets a lot more stable draws, and will usually win versus the mono red.

The idea of land destruction is not to destroy all lands, but to hold your opponent down, while you create an army of creatures to overrun them. To fulfill this, red used cards like Rorix Bladewing

– Kills Affinity. With a nice body, it can also push through for the win.

R/G LD stomps over Affinity, and goes about 65/35 in its favor against Control. Goblins will be about 45/55 in their favor, but it gets a lot better after sideboarding. It is a good overall deck that has targets for every deck in Standard. It can be fun to play, and does not require the knowledge of cards that W/x Control does. If you have a lot of Affinity in your area, I suggest R/G LD, because you will win with it.
